increases, which results into a change in blood flow behaviour.
The Meter captures the position of the sample by means of a
Machine vision system and the position is transformed
mathematically into speed and acceleration curves, from
which an INR value is obtained.
Calibration
Each batch of microINR Chips has been calibrated against a
reference batch of human recombinant thromboplastin traced
to International Reference Thromboplastin of the World Health
Organization
1
.
These calibration values (ISI and MNPT) are encoded in the
printed Datamatrix of each microINR Chip. Therefore, every
test is automatically and individually calibrated eliminating
any risk of human error.
